A recap of former Hilltoppers who played in NFL Preseason Week 2 games...
TAYWAN TAYLOR, Tennessee Titans
Lit up the scoreboard with four receptions for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns, accounting for both of the Titans' scores in a 30-14 loss. He made a catch on each of his four targets in the contest.
Taylor broke a screen pass 47 yards for a touchdown at the 4:00 mark of the first quarter from Marcus Mariota, then added a three-yard score with 11:22 remaining in the third quarter from Blaine Gabbert. He also made grabs of 16 and 29 yards during the seven-play, 75-yard third-quarter scoring drive.
For his efforts, Taylor's highlight caught the attention of his favorite athlete, LeBron James, in an Instagram comment.
